Local woman hasn't watched Twilight

Did the SamDoesArts pause challenge recently!

“loves ramen” “wants to be normal” “wears red a lot”

first few character sheets of the promised High School Figure Skating AU (or HFAU for short)! Next up is Martyn, Ren, and Apo… be excited (and afraid).

Scott, Shelby and Owen have been in this town all their lives, Pyro and Drift moved in from distant Big Cities tm at the start of high school, and Jimmy is a new student this year (senior year). At first, Jimmy doesn’t speak with them much at all. In fact, he strongly dislikes their whole group and— surprise surprise!— it’s Martyn’s fault! Who’da thunk it.

Martyn, Apo and Ren are the friend group the Jimmy initially gravitated towards, and they more or less ruined his perception of the so-called “Vampires” that all the other students hate (I’ll draw this scene later for more context).

Louis will also make an appearance! Surprisingly, I have chosen to be merciful and UnDoom the Yaoi. He and Owen will have very few troubles compared to Scott and Jimmy (but what did you expect, the flower husbands are my precious beloved punching bags!).

Look at the cute snake!!!

AWWWWWEEEE

First off, WHAT THE FUCK, I look away for a few days and the first thing I see is this? Ahsjsdkcj?

I’ve spoken about this a bit on AO3 on some of my works which included him, but I wanted to put something here as well.

I will no longer be writing about him, nor drawing him, nor acknowledging his existence in fandom spaces where I can avoid it. Now I know what the DSMP fans were feeling 💀

I admire people who are able to soldier on and separate art from artist and all but I just don’t feel like it. Fanart and fanfic is, for me at least, a way of showing appreciation for creators, and I think we can all agree that Avid and Marm deserve no appreciation. From what I’ve heard, the things they said and did were absolutely VILE (and reminiscent of a high school bully from a cheesy movie, except they’re GROWN ASS ADULTS) and we as a fandom have a right to be pissed off. We watched their videos, listened to their music, made art of them, supported them, followed Avid on Spotify, some of us bought merch— only to find out they’re actually horrible, disgusting people? At risk of sounding parasocial, I think all us fans have a right to feel betrayed. Hopefully everyone they hurt and all the friendships they tried to split apart are healing. If you don’t want to keep writing about them in your fics or comics, here are some ideas to get around it:

Replace them with entirely different characters

We as a fandom can make up OCs to stand in for them (I believe this is already a project that’s underway)

Disrespect them and BLATANTLY ignore canon

Write them as the villains they are

we can take notes from other fandoms that have experienced this as well.

however she demanded that in return I watch all of both Unstable Universe and Lifesteal SMP.
